It’s likely that anyone with the capability to read this (from a technology stand-point, not a lingual one) has access to one or many of the above. Everyone has a platform. Everyone has a soapbox, a megaphone, a means to share what’s in their heads. Is this a good thing? Sure. Everyone deserves to have a voice. However (there’s always a ‘however’), what most of us forget, and what we must notforget, is just because you have a platform doesn’t automatically mean you have something to say. Or, more to the point, that what you say is worth hearing.

That got pretty harsh. Here’s a picture of Elmo as a reward for getting through it. We’re all ok. Right, Elmo?

Do I have any insights that can’t be found elsewhere? Almost certainly not. Does my opinion on anything matter more than anyone else’s? Of course not. Do I have things to say that are worth hearing? Very debatable.

And yet here I am. The point of this first post is to apologize for all my posts. I’m sorry for doing this. Please don’t take my writing here as a demand to be heard. Please don’t take my writing here as a delusional notion of self-importance. Please don’t take my writing here as an assumption that it will even be read.

It’s just that I have thoughts, and it feels good to get them down. ‘Catharsis’ is a good word to know the definition of. This is more for me than for you. As of this writing, I have 4,966 subscribers on youtube, and maybe some of them care about what I have to say, but that’ll just be an added bonus if anyone does. It’d be presumptuous to assume otherwise.

I obsess over movies. I believe pop culture is important. I acknowledge the rule of three.
